A reader:

“I was working on the 65th floor of the Chrysler Building in autumn

1969. The office windows were six feet wide and twelve feet

high…and they were sash windows, i.e., they opened.

“When the Mets won the series, the sky in Manhattan filled with paper

being flung out of office buildings. It looked like snow. Someone

ran into my office, threw open the window, and tossed a sheaf of

papers out. There were rolls of tp unrolling on their way to the

street. It was ecstasy.”
